These aren't good looks for the US. So much of the stability of our everyday lives relies a lot on the security and stability the US has provided out here in the open seas.
The “stability” of America has been built on America
enslaving African Americans and fast-forward destabilizing and exploiting the Global South.

Just because nikkas are perpetual victims of American indoctrination and US propaganda doesn’t make that any less of a common understanding to those that don’t limit their worldview and history to the bubble that is America.

This shyt ain’t nothing new.

The lsrael-Palestine conflict is giving people a peak into why the Global South and their descendants are so hostile when it comes to American patriotism, US foreign policy and anti-immigration political views.

America is the villain of the story.

A very sophisticated villain.

I know it’s hard for certain people to understand but America is the Empire.

"3 to 4 year old young lady" How a sky news journalist described idf killing a 3 year old baby:francis:


The language used is intentional. They're doing everything to minimize Israel’s violence against Palestinians. Western news media has been awful when it comes to accurately and humanely reporting on Palestinians. They don't seems to care, either.


I read this the other day, and the CBC is shameless with it.


It turns out CBC News is aware they describe Israel’s violence against Palestinians with sanitized language—and they actually believe it’s justified.

In a letter responding to a complaint filed by a reader, the public broadcaster acknowledged that they’ve used terms like “murderous,” “vicious,” “brutal,” “massacre,” and “slaughter” to refer only to Hamas’s attack on Israelis on Oct. 7.

But when it comes to the Israeli army’s bombing of Palestinians, which has killed more than 22,600 people as of Friday, CBC says they prefer to use terms like “intensive,” “unrelenting,” and “punishing.”

The more evocative and sympathy-generating terms don’t apply to Palestinian deaths, CBC argues, because Israel carries out its killings “remotely” instead of face-to-face.

CBC launched its highly revealing defence in an email reply to Jeff Winch, a retired professor at Humber College who had filed four complaints about CBC’s coverage with the CRTC, Canada’s telecoms regulator.

“The Hamas attack was referred to by the reporter as ‘vicious,’” Winch wrote in one complaint, citing an instance in early November on CBC Radio. “Why is it when Hamas attacks there is a toxic adjective attached but when Israel kills 8 times the number of people (including babies) no such adjectives are used?”

“This use of language attempts to minimize the ugliness of Israeli atrocities and get maximum hatred out of the Hamas attacks. It also serves to skew the reader’s empathy towards Israel and away from Palestinians—a further dehumanizing of an already downtrodden people.”

CBC’s senior manager of journalistic standards Nancy Waugh responded in a Dec. 5 email that Winch shared with The Breach:

CBC’s senior manager of journalistic standards Nancy Waugh responded in a Dec. 5 email that Winch shared with The Breach:
You wrote that CBC reporters refer to the October 7 attacks as ‘murderous,’ ‘vicious,’ or ‘brutal,’ but don’t use the same words to describe Israeli attacks that kill Palestinians.

Different words are used because although both result in death and injury, the events they describe are very different. The raid saw Hamas gunmen stream through the border fence and attack Israelis directly with firearms, knives and explosives. Gunmen chased down festival goers, assaulted kibbutzniks then shot them, fought hand to hand, and threw grenades. The attack was brutal, often vicious, and certainly murderous.

Bombs dropped from thousands of feet and artillery shells lofted into Gaza from kilometers away result in death and destruction on a massive scale, but it is carried out remotely. The deadly results are unseen by those who caused them and the source unseen by those [who] suffer and die.

It’s a different kind of event and is described differently as ‘intensive,’ ‘unrelenting,’ and ‘punishing,’ raining death and destruction on one of the most densely populated places on earth…They are different stories, and we have tried to describe both accurately and vividly.


The former professor Winch called this “a terrible answer.”

“I don’t think the language should have to do with the comfort of the person delivering death,” he told The Breach in an interview. “It’s about the devastation and destruction and violence that’s happening to the victims.”
